Nikon D7200 Image Quality and Size, Image Quality, adjusted after shooting, roughly 1 : 4 (fine quality), roughly 1 : 8 (normal quality), roughly 1 : 16 (basic quality)

Image Quality and Size

Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card (0 380).
